Game Informer Top 10 (June)...Space Marines *Poll*

This months issues of Gameinformers Top 10 covers Space Marines..

Toggle Spoiler

1) Doom Guy (Doom) - When the invading armies of Hell tried to consume our universe, the Doom guy was the only one standing in their way. But this soldier didn't just send the legions of Hell packing; he followed them home and trashed their bathroom. The Doom Guy doesnt have a personality (or even a name), but he doesnt need one; all he needs is it a chainsaw and a Cyberdemon to vent on.

2) Master Chief (Halo) - Master Chief is the modern face for space marines, which is poetic considering this Spartan is faceless. He seem like he's allergic to comedy and more robotic than his AI companion, but the Chief's sense of justic is so strong it could bench press a Warthog.

3) Terran Marine (StarCraft) - StarCraft's marines fit the sterotype to a T. They're layered with enough armor to weigh down a tank and willing to charge headfirst into an army Ultralisks. When the Brood tried to consume the universe, these marines pistol-whipped them back across the galaxy.

4) Ultramarines (Warhammer 40,000) - The Ultramarines are the Costco-branded toilet paper of space marines - the bulkiest and the most generic. These marines have grown up in a world of war. It's all they know, so they dont understand that violence isn't an answer to injustice. For them, violence is more of a question, and the answer is always yes.

5) Stormtroopers (Star Wars) - Sure, Stormtrooper's aim is so terrible that if they threw rocks they'd probably miss the ground, but Star Wars pre-dates everything on this list, so in a way, these super inaccurate baddies are the genesis of all space marines. Destorying Ewok villages may be the last thing on their to-do list, but only because they save the best for last.

6) Major Dutch Schaefer (Alien vs Predator) - Dutch wrestled an acid-blooded Xenomorph to the ground and is named after Arnold Schwarzenegger's character from Predator. The guy is so cool that unicorns probably dream that someday they'll catch a glimpse of Dutch drinking from a rainbow stream

7) EDF Soldier (Earth Defense Force) - When skyscraper-sized ants come to ruin our planet's picnic, the Earth Defense Force acts as humanity's insect repellent. The EDF soldiers aren't too concerned with small details like the lives of millions of people or the structrual intergrity of the buildings. They just want to turn and endless barrage of giant bugs into geysers of green goo.

8) COG Gears (Gears of War) - After a horde of ripped reptiles erupts from the ground, the only force that can hold them back is an army of soldiers built like prehistoric gorillas. Sure, the Gears' personalities have about as much texture as greased Jell-O, but when it comes to taking down subterranean threats, Marcus Fenix and company are ready to grunt through the job.

9) X-Com Crew (X-Com) - While many space marnies are nameless meatheas who silently follow orders, your X-Com crew are grizzled meatheads who follow orders...who you can name! Sure, they die faster than a housefly with a smoking habit, but they safeguard our planet from alien invasions.

10) President Washington and Lincoln (Conduit 2) - Before the credits roll at the end of Conduit 2, former American presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln jump out of a time portal wearing combat armor powered by freedom and justice and tell us that they need help fighting an alien menace. Hollywood, we hope your taking note.

it was a tough call between DOOM guy vs. the Ultramarines. both fight the forces of hell/chaos, can take a lot of punishment, and have lasted over 20 years. it came down to doom guy by a narrow margin.
